Bucky is cool, but Woodlands Crusader is my favorite. I do love Medieval things. 🙂
Yes, carousels are awesome! You do not need an excuse, no matter how old you are. People who think you are weird are weird. Of course, I’m not saying you aren’t weird… being a writer pretty much puts you in that category right away. You’re just not weird to want to ride carousels. 😉
I rode on a handmade wooden one that is super old in Holland, Michigan, and there is also a really neat one at Davis Mercantile in Shipshewana, Indiana. I can’t remember where it was, but I do remember riding on the top story of a two-story carousel which was really neat. So yeah, I really like carousels.
